I own four tabletop radios from the late thirties. It’s amazing that these 80+ year old radios still work fine. And they all have the original tubes! If you take a gander at my system you will see my favorite which is black dial Zenith circa 1938!
non-high end collectables, radios..etc.
Perhaps some of you/us have audio related collections that are not
high-end. bit still related fun? I do.
Not as much today, but at one time I had a collection of older, tube console radios
from the 40s and 50s....and stupidly sold them. Some of those monsters had
a wonderful, perhaps somewhat mellow, sound and many looked the part...like
some wonderful old cars. And, like old cars, some were just very cool looking
in a Cary Grant kind of way.
